~ dear Fellow Secretaries:
l"hrch 13, 1944
In an effort to preserve, as far as possible, the integrity of state water laws and to subordinate the use of water for navigation to its use for domestic, irrigation, mining, industrial or other consumptive uses, a group of water-minded Congressmen last week agreed to offer the following amendment to the Omnibus River and Harbor Bill (H.R. 3961) when it comes to the floor of the House for a vote on
~rch 20th. .
PAGE 29, LInE 12 ADD THE FOLLOWING NEW PARAGRAPH AT THE END OF SECTION 1.
ttIN CONNECTION WITH DAM> OR WORKS HEREIN OR HEREAFTER AUTHORIZED, ANY USE FOR THE MAINTENAnCE OF A NAVIGABLE CHANNEL OF THE WATERS OF ANY STREAM OR TRIBUTARY THEREOF SHALL BE SUBORDINA'~E TO l .. HD SHALL nOT INTERFERE WITH ANY USE OF SUCH WATERS FOR DOMESTIC, IRRIGATION, MINING, OR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES HERETOFORE OR HEREAFTER ESTABLISHED ~~ER STATE LAW."
This amendment appears to be in line with the desires of many I~nicipalities,
Chambers of Commerce, industrial and stream basin organizations throughout the country.
If interested in se~ing such a protective paragraph become the law of the land please wire your Congressmen and Senators immediately, urging their active support of the amendment.
Having been the Manager of a Chamber of Commerce for nearly twenty years before assuming this post, I will appreciate receiving oopies of such wires as you send to your Congressmen and Senators.

My dear Mr. Dille:
I have read with interest your letter of January 14th.
I recall the conversation w e had at the W ashington H otel some months ago.
I am fearful from w hat I can gather here that Judge Stone does not have a very good chance of having a place in the Bureau's organization. ~goes w ithout saying that I ~~ll be delighted if I can accomplish anything along the line suggested in your letter.
I will surely be looking for a place w here something substantial may be secured in the interest of Judge stone'. There is no question about his ability for service. I will let you know immediately if any suggested opportunity presents itself.
W ith personal regards, I am
